Crossing the line

It is interesting that Rocky Bru here believed Bigdog had "crossed the line". A chance encounter Friday night will highlight further what it means.

Last Sunday, Bigdog had called upon Mukhriz to take a leave from his
position as ANSARA President. [Read The Star here.] Too long for Mukhriz to not do much after coming out victorious from a leadership challenge many years ago.

MyKMU posting here justified the inconsistency in Mukhriz's suggestion to limit PM tenure but reluctant to give room for younger blood after more than 22 years. Though Secretary General gave a statement but Mukhriz speech had "crossed the line".

Helen Ang here did touched on the visible reasons why Mahathir "crossed the line" to justify Mahathir loyalist bloggers for leaving the man. There is more than only the two. Many do not trust the real motive of Mahathir's current fight.

Bigdog has expressed himself here. to explain more why Mahathir "crossed the line" Extract below:

What is glaring about Tun Dr. Mahathir,
he expects every person who had served him before to be continuously
loyal to him perpetually regardless all the contradictions he does, what
position he takes and even the about turns and he lines he drew but
eventually crosses.

This include all the manipulation,
exaggeration, lies, slander and even seditious statements the prime
minister of Malaysia for 22 years did to demonise as a strategy to
topple Prime Minister Najib, openly for the past 18 months.

Disagreement opinion and position on any of these matters tantamount to disloyalty and damnation by him.

That could be why Mahathir U-turnned on his own words and positions.

It is dangerous and regressive for the bloggers to be associated with the hallucinating Kelab Che Det and pro-Toon's hero worshiping and cult following practises. It is bordering on idol worshiping.

This incident of Mahathir going so low to pick on bloggers is a repetition of the past.

In 2008, Mukhriz campaign for UMNO Youth leader was struggling and Mahathir stepped in to cut off the competition. He called Khir Toyo a competitor to his son corrupt.

Khir Toyo's boys had been big supporters and activists for Mahathir throughout Reformasi dan fight against Pak Lah. They not only silently assisted his campaign to bring Pak Lah down but even financially assisted Mukhriz's struggling 2008 general election campaign.

All these are not appreciated when he need to lend his son, Mukhriz a hand. Is he the only son that Mahathir is willing to go so low to be protective?

Well, there are many more examples. So we return back to the chance encounter with a former Reformasi activist last Friday night.

The former Reformasi activist was aware of Mahathir's attack on bloggers Rocky Bru and Big Dog and the past incident with the MyKMU boys.

In this game, we know each other and who been making fake claims of their so-called cyber propaganda ability. There is nothing personal between us and we do not snitch on each other. It is so unlike the newbie players today.

The former Reformasi activist was the person that created the rumour that one of Mahathir's son wanted to commit suicide due to financial problems when Banks knocked on his door. He was building up on a bailout story.

There are many bailout stories of Mahathir's children but too few publicly known. Even Mukhriz has his own bailout story.

The former Reformasi activist claimed Mahathir sent out the Special Branch to go after him. Mahathir may not realise of his existence but he claimed he was apprehended and interrogated in a manner he felts was more vindictive than other reformasi activist had to undergo.

It was rather puzzling as to how does such rumour affected national security. Market rumours are common happening in the opaque world of wheeling and dealing. Despite their talk of transparency and disclosure, it is all bull.

And, he said whenever anyone touch his childrren, Mahathir will go after you with vengence.

Serve him right we said to ourself. We told him, "Problem is you guys politicise into areas outside your expertise of only politics and got the information wrong."

Financial problem is true but he could have got a better deal. He claimed he was squeezed to sell at deep discount.

On the other hand, that argument may not be quite valid. When the Bank come knocking, maximising shareholders wealth is not a priority but immediate cashflow to tide through the crisis is a priority.

So we shared some bits that we know, "The financial problem may not be due to business but habit from personal indulgence that has gone awry.

"Can't confirm on the self abuse rumour but he was quite in a rutt. Heard he tried to get father-in-law to help but was refused and daddy's friends was forced to help out. Not sure if there is still a father-in-law."

Guess the name and details should be witheld. Mahathir could get personal and drag Rosmah but we shall not "cross the line" to drag someone not in politics into the political arena.

Dear Sir off topic for your consideration. Rembautimes.com wishes to highlight economic issues surrounding Petronas ando we are looking for a protem committee of Social media practitioners to negotiate with ther companies.

3:13 Already there has been for you a sign in the two armies which met - one fighting in the cause of Allah and another of disbelievers. They saw them [to be] twice their [own] number by [their] eyesight. But Allah supports with His victory whom He wills. Indeed in that is a lesson for those of vision.

3:14 Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return.

3:15 Say, "Shall I inform you of [something] better than that? For those who fear Allah will be gardens in the presence of their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and purified spouses and approval from Allah . And Allah is Seeing of [His] servants -

2:186 And when My servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.

3:8 [Who say], "Our Lord, let not our hearts deviate after You have guided us and grant us from Yourself mercy. Indeed, You are the Bestower.

3:147 And their words were not but that they said, "Our Lord, forgive us our sins and the excess [committed] in our affairs and plant firmly our feet and give us victory over the disbelieving people."

3:148 So Allah gave them the reward of this world and the good reward of the Hereafter. And Allah loves the doers of good.

baerehem:When you make dua to be guided, to be granted patience, for ikhlaas, faith or anything from Allah, ask for it to be granted beautifully. May we be guided to the straight path in a beautiful way, may we be granted patience in a beautiful way, may we attain ikhlaas and imaan in a beautiful manner and may we be reminded of Allah in the most beautiful of ways.

27:92 And to recite the Qur'an." And whoever is guided is only guided for [the benefit of] himself; and whoever strays - say, "I am only [one] of the warners."

27:93 He will show you His signs, and you will recognize them. And your Lord is not unaware of what you do."

**********5:51 O you who have believed, do not take the Jews and the Christians as allies. They are [in fact] allies of one another. And whoever is an ally to them among you - then indeed, he is [one] of them. Indeed, Allah guides not the wrongdoing people.

5:52 So you see those in whose hearts is disease hastening into [association with] them, saying, "We are afraid a misfortune may strike us." But perhaps Allah will bring conquest or a decision from Him, and they will become, over what they have been concealing within themselves, regretful.

5:53 And those who believe will say, "Are these the ones who swore by Allah their strongest oaths that indeed they were with you?" Their deeds have become worthless, and they have become losers.
